Manchester City travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday night to take on a struggling Leicester City side. The Foxes lost 5-0 away at Porto in midweek, whereas City drew 1-1 at home to Celtic.
This fixture last season was seen as a major test of Leicester’s title credentials, however following a string of poor results, they’re facing a relegation battle this time around.
